PS4 Firmware 4.0 to feature Folders and more
Sony have given some additional details today on what we can expect from the upcoming 4.0 Firmware update.
PS4 4.0 Update – What’s new?
A UI refresh seems to be the main feature will be getting from PS4 4.0, with what Sony describe as “a more refined and easy to use UI”. In particular, the quick menu (which appears when you press the Playstation button ingame) has been revamped:
To me the most interesting feature in this upcoming PS4 update 4.0 is probably going to be the possibility to create folders in our libraries. Being a PS Plus member for quite some time now, and having been on countless betas, I can say that my library is a gigantic mess and barely usable. It took me almost 10 minutes the other day to find back a game that I know I owned as a PS+ member but which name I had forgotten (and I forgot it again… it’s that weird side-scrolling shooter where you play as a fish?).
Being able to create folders, such as the folders of local co-op games I can play with my son, will be an awesome addition to the system. Next if I could remove all the clutter I never use such as Playstation Vue, that would be great Sony.
Lol I don’t think No Man’s sky is actually in anyone’s “Favorite games” list right now…
Other upcoming changes include updates to the user profile, some trophy improvements, and the possibility to upload twitter videos of up to 140 seconds (10 seconds currently)
PS4 4.0 and PS4 Hacks
The PS4 4.0 Firmware update comes in the context of a recently revealed Webkit exploit for the PS4 Firmware 3.55, the exact same exploit that was used as en entry point for the PS Vita Henkaku hack. It remains to be seen if PS4 firmware 4.0 will patch the webkit exploit, although that sounds pretty likely at this point.

Hmm
Shuetshimi is the game
shutshimi 😀 thats your game XD
Save game edit Pleaseeee!!!
The idea of computer/digital folders has been around since at least 1958. Why did it take Sony until now to finally add them to the PS4 UI?
Because they have been too busy trying to find more ways to get u to rebuy all their stuff over and over
Finally, dont care if the exploit is patched, ill be grabbing this update……beeeen waiting sooooooooo long for folders…..also that quick UI menu looks sweet.
I’ve Have Said that for a long time… The UI Was A Mess From The Release Date. But That’s Why They Do Updates In Increments So That When “Someone” Gets Access To User-Land And Has A Kernel Entry Point. They Know Its Time To Sweeten The Pot With New Features So The End User Has To Make A Decision To Update ….. All I Am Saying Is The 3.55 Firmware Will And Always Be The ” Golden” Firmware…
Just Don’t Update Or You WILL Be Sorry… It Has All The Features I Needed With. Sony Has Always Made The Same Mistakes….Now That’s Why They HAVE TO Roll Out New Hardware. It’s Now A Game Of Cat And Mouse….#$ONY YOU DID IT AGAIN!!! Thank You! Peace.

Very interesting WoLOLo, tell us more…
If and when the firmware 4.0 patches the exploit on 3.55, can 2.xx users manually update to 3.55?
Yes. You can update the FW manually. But you cannot access PSN without a newest FW.
So, you have to download the 3.55 FW now to store in your computer.
You should download 3.55 FW from Sony website and save it in your PC before Sony remove it and replace the 40 FW download link.
Can we use a proxy to install the 4.0

irony or coincidence? I think not, maybe they made 3.55 an easter egg for us to have, just to screw with us on V4.This is very stupid from sony, with an exploit there will be better GUI interfaces threw the exploit than beta V4.
Long story short? Download 3.55 before it’s pulled from the server and keep it on a Fat32 or exFat formatted flashdrive.
Thanks and waiting for the kernel exploit.

Hmmm. So it’s gone through three major versions and countless subversions within that and only now they’re looking to fix a few basic UI problems that have been there since day one? The Vita shipped with folder support, why was this not the case for the PS4? I still think the PS3’s interface is better. Not great, but better. Mine will continue to gather dust under the TV while the Wii U gets all the love, I think… at least until Mankind Divided drops.
